Ava's 3rd Birthday & Another Layout

Hello everyone.

On Monday I took Briana out of kindy and took her to her cousin Ava's 3rd Birthday. Briana, Tea' and Ava (cousins) all had a fun time catching up. Just check out Ava's face when it was time to blow out the candles, priceless!

Tea'  having fun in the playground.....

and Briana? well she is constantly pulling stupid faces these days whenever she spots me with the camera!

We have a small monthly competition going on in the Forum its still running for a couple more weeks yet and great prize to be won!
The details are on the forum but I decided to do up an example. We had to use around one third of the background using stamping, we also had to use vibrant colours plus make a homemade embellishment.

Here is my take: I stamped the Chandeliers, inked the chipboard Chandelier and covered it in stickles, built up my embellishments with Prima flowers and a rub-on rose, cut the frame from a Prima Patterned Paper and my handmade embellishment is the little rose heart.

I cut out a heart shape from some chipboard, glued tiny roses & flowers all over it and filled in some gaps with pearls. I also glimmer misted the turquoise roses, they were originally white. I scanned an old wedding photo and fixed up any blemishes in photoshop, re-coloured and softened the edges, took a couple of hours to enhance & reprint.

Close up of embellishment:

There you have it, so why don't you give it a go? Still  not too late to join in. Also have you been checking out the Winter Warmer competition the DT girls have running, this has been really fun and challenging for all. Also keep watch for a new sketch challenge coming soon.....

thanks, Lisa

WOW those embellishments look sooooo COOL, love what you have done with the little rosebuds, and gorgeous layout. Brianna is soooo BIG now, it's like she has grown up overnight and is now a little person rather than a baby.....
